If you live in Texas, read this book. (They have a version for the other states too.) We don't have one, so we're just reading a standard version that we happen to have on hand. It would also work to just sing the song. Be sure to Google the words so you don't end up like me with the five gold rings.

Then, like Lorraine's class, have the kiddies brainstorm their own brand new version. I really like The Twelve Days of Star Wars idea but I'm guessing my boys will probably go with The Twelve Days of Harry Potter this year, or maybe a sports themed version. (And like everything else around here, someone will probably suggest a potty themed idea at some point.)

We'll probably just use this idea for discussion on the ride home from school or over dinner tonight, but if the kids really get into it, it would be a fun book making project as well.
